Butch:
R and L's price is $349, which includes a $30 cupon. But, you have to pay
for shipping, plus they charge the $24 for the VGS1 installation as I've
already mentioned.
HRO's price is $359, but they will install the VGS1 free of charge, plus
they have free shipping, so looks like I'll go with them.
This will be my third TMV71A also; I have one for the house, one in the
car, and now the third in the RV.
You simply can't beat that rig!

If you've done it once, it shouldn't be that bad. I''ve 3 of them and
didn't have much trouble. What is r and l's price? I agree, what ever
happened to customer service. I was saddened to learn Burghardts is no
longer selling ham gear. I've bought a lot from them over the years and
they use to do that stuff for me all the time.
